Had many SLs... This 2015 is by far the best

Last of the REAL mercedes SL and by far the best looking both inside and out. I may never trade this one. Love the SL400 because plenty of power and one of the most classic interiors so far. Also big differece in insurance cost and gas MPG without giving up the pep. Still fast enough to get in and out of traffic with turbo.

The car handles very well on the highway and brakes very well. Very quiet and it’s awesome to have a convertible and a car that rides so nice

Check our the options. So much is standard, but there a few add-ons that turn it from a great car to a spectacular road machine. Distronic Plus is a must as well as the premium package. Soft close doors are nice feature. Wish mine had the electronic darkening roof. Wonderful roadster, smoothest ride of any of the 14 MBs I have owned over the past 40 years. Amazing acceleration and handling

I love the car, It's everything one could want at an advanced age (61 bad back) in a sports/luxury riding car. Love the seat massage! One BAD problem is the backup camera. There's a nasty passenger side blind spot and the camera does not show it or make a sound. I've come close to accidents in parking lots a number of times., The cars 9 years old, a real cherry (still looks and rides like new) and I would've kept it forever but for that camera . Otherwise I'd have given 5+ stars!!!

I've only had my 2015 SL400 for 1 1/2 weeks and the handling is amazing. I previously had a Lexus IS350C and it was a nice ride, but I have to admit, nothing like this one. The interior is absolutely gorgeous is my car. My dog, who ironically is not a car guy, may not be be crazy about the minimalist back seat, but again, he's not a a car guy. I'm more than pleased with the car up to now. It may not have some of the bells and whistles and power of higher end models, but for me it fits the bill.
